Objective: To optimize the preparation technology of Bushen Yinao Dispersible Tablets (BYDT) and establish a method for the quality control of BYDT. Methods: The prescription of BYDT was optimized by single factor test with the disintegrating time as index. The contents of psoralen and isopsoralen were determined by HPLC. The dissolution of BYDT was determined and compared with other two preparations. Results: PVPP was optimized as the disintegrants, MCC was optimized as the stuffing bulking agents, the proportion of PVPP and MCC was 1:2.7, and 80% ethanol was optimized as adhesives. The concentration of psoralen and isopsoralen showed a good linear relationship at the range of 4.2-52.5 and 4.6-57.5 μg/mL (r=0.9998), respectively. The average recoveries of psoralen and isopsoralen were 98.89% with RSD of 0.53%; and 100.65% with RSD of 0.93%, respectively. The total content and dissolution of psoralen and isopsoralen had no significant differences among different batches. BYDT had the higher dissolution speed and could reach the highest dissolution rate in vitro compared with the other preparations. Conclusion: This prescription of BYDT is reasonable and effective. The method is simple and accurate and could be used for the quality control of BYDT.

The positioning error in radiotherapy is one of the most important factors that influence the location precision of the tumor. Based on the CT-on-rails technology, this paper describes the research on measuring the positioning error in radiotherapy by comparing the planning CT images with the treatment CT images using 3-dimension (3D) methods. It can help doctors to measure positioning errors more accurately than 2D methods. It also supports the powerful 3D interaction such as drag-dropping, rotating and picking-up the object, so that doctors can visualize and measure the positioning errors intuitively.

Objective: To understand the epidemiologic characteristics of injury among children aged 0-5 years in 2018, and to provide evidence for prevention and control measures of injury in children. Methods: Data of injury in children aged 0-5 years in China in 2018 were collected from National Injury Surveillance System (NISS) for the descriptive epidemiologic analysis. Results: A total of 74 355 injury cases were reported in children aged 0-5 years in 2018, with the gender ratio of 0.66, in which 98.13% were unintentional injuries. The top three causes of injury were falls (56.76%), blunt injuries (9.80%) and animal related injuries (7.81%). Injuries mainly occurred during 17:00—20:59 (32.09%) and 10:00—11:59 (13.95%). The top three places where injuries might occur were home (65.70%), public residence (13.06%), highway/street (10.94%). Recreational activities (64.21%), basic life activities (16.93%) and walking (5.66%) were the main activities when injuries occurred. Of all injury cases, most were mild, while 13.73% of cases were moderate or severe. Head, upper limb and lower limb were main injuries sites, which accounted for 49.44%, 28.59% and 11.70% of all cases respectively. Conclusion Injury is an important cause for children aged 0-5 years to go to the outpatient/emergency department for treatment, indicating that the prevention of injury in such age group should be strengthened. It is recommended to further improve the data collection on child injury in order to provide more evidence for child injury intervention.

Objective To investigate the effect of continual care on postoperative medication compliance of patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) after vertebroplasty.Methods A retrospective case control study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 150 patients with OVCF who underwent vertebroplasty in Guizhou People's Hospital from January 2016 to May 2017.There were 38 males and 112 females,aged 47-88 years,with an average of 67.5 years.Seventy-five patients were given continual care such as telephone follow-up and home visit (continual care group).Seventy-five patients were given routine health education (routine care group) when they were discharged from hospital.Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry dysfunction index (ODI) before operation,1 day,1,3,6 and 12 months after operation,as well as medication compliance and vertebral re-fracture at 1,3,6 and 12 months after operation were compared between the two groups.Results The preoperative VAS of the routine care group was 6 (6-7),1 (0-1),1 (1-3),2 (1-3) and 3 (2-5) points at 1 day and 1,3,6 and 12 months after operation,respectively.The preoperative ODI was 21 (18-27),0 (0-0),2 (1-4),5 (3-7),7 (5-10),10 (7-14) points at 1 day,1,3,6 and 12 months after operation.In the continual care group,VAS was 7 (6-7) points before operation,0 (0-1),1 (0-1),1 (0-2) and 2 (1-3) points at 1 day,1,3,6 and 12 months after operation,respectively.ODI of the continual care group was 18 (22-28) points before operation,0 (0-1),2 (0-4),4 (1-5),4 (3-6) and 6 (4-9) at 1 day,1,3,6 and 12 months after operation.The VAS and ODI of the two groups were lower than those before operation,and the scores of the continual care group were lower than those of the routine care group at 1,3,6 and 12 months after operation (P ＜ 0.05).The medication compliance rates of continual care group were 93％,89％,91％ and 84％ at 1,3,6 and 12 months after operation,while those of routine care group were 44％,40％,47％ and 40％ respectively (P ＜0.05).The incidence of vertebral re-fracture was 1％,1％,3％ and 3％ in continual care group and 3％,5％,5％ and 7％ in routine care group at 1,3,6 and 12 months after operation respectively (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Continual care can improve the medication compliance of OVCF patients after treatment with vertebroplasty,relieve pain,improve the quality of life,and reduce the incidence of vertebral re-fracture,which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics distribution of falls among students aged 6-17 in 2018, and to provide data support for preventing falls among students and formulating the corresponding policies. Methods: Data of falls among students aged 6-17 in China in 2018 were collected from the the National Injury Surveillance System (NISS) for analyzing its demographic characteristics, injury occurrence and clinical traits of falling. Results: In total, 42 735 cases of fall aged 6-17 were collected from the NISS in China in 2018, which accounted for 54.03% of all cases, with a sex ratio of 2.34∶1, the proportion of students aged 6-11 was the highest(53.78%). The proportion of falls from March to June was the highest(42.12%), and the peak time when falls occurred was forenoon 10:00-10:59(8.40%). School and school-related area(40.40%), home(18.96%) and public residential institution (15.35%) were the sites where falls mainly occurred. The top three activities when falls occurred were leisure activities(47.41%), sports activities(23.90%) and walking(9.77%). Bruise/scrape(54.49%), sprain/strain(21.98%) and fracture(12.69%) were the major nature of injury. The most common body parts falls involved were lower limbs(34.71%), head(29.85%) and upper limbs(25.10%). The injury of falling was mainly characterized by mild ones(83.44%). Conclusion There were more cases of falls on students aged 6-17 from the NISS in China in 2018, mainly males. The epidemiological characteristics were relatively variable, so targeted prevention program of falls should be conducted.

Sinisan is a widely used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in treating various diseases; however, the in vivo metabolic profile of its multiple components remains unknown. In this paper, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) was applied to identify the metabolites of Sinisan extract in rat plasma, urine, feces and bile after intragastric administration. Using MS(E) and mass defect filter techniques, 41 metabolites of 10 parent compounds (naringin, naringenin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, liquiritin, liquiritigenin, glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid, saikosaponin a and saikosaponin d) were detected and tentatively identified. It was shown by our results that these compounds was metabolized to the forms of hydroxylation, glucuronidation, sulfation, glucuronidation with sulfation and glucuronidation with hydroxylation in vivo.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence of childhood asthma, and to find the distribution characteristics, precipitating factors, diagnosis and treatment status, and to provide scientific data for improving the prevention and management of asthma in children in Kunming City, China.

METHODSChildren were selected by random cluster sampling. A standardized preliminary questionnaire was used for screening out possible patients in the survey. Diagnosis of asthma was confirmed by diagnostic criteria in suspected asthmatic children. Asthmatic children were further asked for past diagnosis and treatment with the questionnaire of asthma in children.

RESULTSThe total asthma incidence rate was 1.40%. The prevalence of asthma in male and female children was 1.89% and 0.88% respectively (P<0.05). Children aged 0-5 years old had a higher prevalence of asthma (1.69%) than that of school-age children (6-14 years old, 1.21%). In all asthmatic children, 51.3% were previously diagnosed with classical asthma or cough variant asthma, 26.0% were suffered attacks from December to February, and 54.0% were suffered attacks at midnight or dawn. Respiratory tract infection (87.3%) was the most common triggers of asthma exacerbation. Antibiotics were used in 80.0%, bronchodilators in 66.0%, inhaled corticosteroid in 64.0%. A peak flow meter for monitoring lung function was used in 17% of asthmatic children over 5 years old.

CONCLUSIONSThe prevalence of asthma is associated with age and gender in children aged 0-14 years old in Kunming City. Acute asthma attack occurs mostly in winter and at midnight or dawn. Respiratory tract infection is the most common trigger of asthma exacerbation. Nearly a half of patients with asthma had not been diagnosed with asthma in the early stage. Most asthmatic children use antibiotics and only two-thirds use bronchodilators or inhaled corticosteroid in the treatment. The treatment and management of asthma in children awaits improvement as well.
